Tottenham Hotspur fans still have plenty of love for their former player Rafael van der Vaart.

The midfielder spent two years at the North London outfit between 2010 and 2012.

During an interview with FourFourTwo magazine, the Dutchman revealed that there could have been an interest from Arsenal prior to his switch to White Hart Lane.

However, the 35-year-old has insisted that he made the right call by joining Tottenham.

“Yeah it did get mentioned. I had several conversations with Robin van Persie, and he’d spoken to me about Arsenal a few times, but I never heard anything. I did not regret it – joining Spurs was the best thing that happened to me.”

At the moment, Tottenham are licking their wounds following their midweek Champions League exit to Juventus.
